On Table Talk, NATLBSB(Not A Tagline But Should Be) was a common usage. Not for me, because the months I spent on TT, I spent trying to perfect my impression of a potted palm.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.
'Sleeper'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Nah, the private sector wouldn't know "assonance" if it bit them...on the ass...I guess. Way too much of a 50 cent word. Bartlett's senior staff was all way erudite (except when they were playing exposition fairy). Unless you're talking about academia, which would be very bad for Josh for a lot of reasons. Toby would enjoy harassing the undergrads, though.

Trust my rage
Someone is wrong on the Internet. I should just let it go, right? Even if it's a professional listserv and people might, you know, give advice based on this other's guy's "well, that never happened to me!" reasoning. (Actually, I volunteered the right answer and this guy said I was wrong. But I should just let it go because I know I'm right and my answer had a source.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
How's the library and the studying, Shir?
Mount Scopus library is sexy, yet simple. You'll have to trust me on that.
Studying what I don't need to study went excellent.
Studying what I needed to study went less than excellent - I'm 30 pages behind what I thought I'll do.
My mom doesn't understand why I make a fuss about something that's "very close" to what I wanted her to buy for me. Help.

Can you compare it to something that she cares about? Like the right blouse in the wrong size, or a CD by an artist with the right first name, but wrong last name?

Good idea. Plants metaphors, here I come.

My mom's a big gardener too. And, Cash, she also says if you hear anymore from Crazy Hair Mom, F-bombs are appropriate(bearing in mind we might be secret Danish Emanuels.) But my mom cares about hair a lot and even she thinks CHM is completely off the hook.

Hivemind question:
Does anyone else experience the fear of saying something that could get interpreted wrong or accidentally reveal something about yourself when speaking with people who studied psychology for years and don't know you so well yet you're in some kind of touch with each other? Or is it just me?

Me? Make a Joke To Cut The Tension Girl? With the diagnosis? Oh, just a couple million times. Especially since other people don't make jokes about their mother surviving cancer in order to get run down by a car full of clowns.

Mount Scopus library is sexy, yet simple.
Am I the only one who read that as "Mount Scorpius"? And found the rest of the sentence a little unexpected?
That said, I'm glad you like the library, Shir. It sounds nice.
